sewage treatment plant, and the dump in, or directly bordering, that one residential/ag neighborhood
It's almost as if the land uses are following the existing zoning, with "ag" (+primary dwelling by right) right next to "industrial".
Being that the land is already zoned "industrial", no additional permits are required for an allowable use.
I'm sure someone can explain how the zoning "snuck up on" those who chose to build and live there.
just build the compost facility on AG land somewhere else?
County would have to grant an SUP to allow this industrial operation on ag-zoned land, but let's assume that's not a problem.
The "ag land somewhere else" would need infrastructure (roads, power, water) and it would have to be a large enough parcel that nobody could possibly live next to it.
Anyone anywhere nearby would likely complain about "traffic levels" and possibly
"noise/smell", even if they didn't share a road with the facility and could not see the site from their house.
If the facility required any infrastructure development, people would also bring up the "if you build a road someone will rip off my house" argument.
it really isn't right to ask one small community to keep absorbing all these needed but high impact activities
Railroad Ave crosses through several thousand acres of Shipman land... and the residents of HPP don't have any "high impact activities" yet...
